HAWARDEN, May lit—M r. Gladstone is dead. Death came very peacefully at live o’clock thisI‘morning. All the mem- bers of his immediate family were at the bedside; Mr. Gladstone was very weak all day yesterday, and much of the time he was in a comatose stite, but his extra- ordinary constitution made his physi- cians hesitate to fix the time when he would finally succumb. ' WILLIAM E. GLADSTONE. William Ewart Gladstone was born at Liverpool, England, in 1809. He was the son of Sir John Gladstone an eminent merchant of that place. He was educated at Eton and Christ Church college Oxford where he graduated in 1831. Mr. Gladstone entered parliament the following year where he quickly distin- guished himself by his splendid orator- ical and forensic powers. In 1852 Lord Aberdeen’s “Coalition” ministry he accepted ofiice is Chancellor of the Exchequer and held many posts of equal importance. He became leader of the House of Com- mons after Lord Palmerston’s death, and proved himself the ablest financier minister England had ever known. But as the Irish champion he is bet- ter known throughout the world. In his private capacity Mr. Gladstone has always been highly esteemed. Thus in his death passed away one of the greatest orators and statesmen the under world has ever known. He is survived by several children and grandchildren. ———————<o-o>—-———-—-— TERRIBLE TORNAD A Score of Lives Lost in a Terrific . Storm in Western Illinois. CLINTON, 1A., May 18. —-Over a score , of lives were lost and thousands of del- lars worth of property was destroyed by a tornado which swept Clinton and Jackson counties yesterday afternoon. The storm jumped into western Illinois near Savannah and it was at that point that the loss of life was greatest.

The dead so far reported are: At Preston, Iowa—Charles Flora and wife and three of their children. At Quigley, Iowa—William O’Meara, child of John Clark. At Riggs Station, Hines; daughter of Michael Solon. At Stanwood, Iowa——Michael Malon- ey; Luke Maloney. , At Delmar Junction.

The path of the storm varied from 40 rods in some places to eighty feet in Jackson‘ county. Trees and out-houscs were turn to pieces‘ Roofs of farmhouses were lifted like straws and carried [half a mile along the path of the storm and then hurled against the walls of big stock barnS, cutting them in two and killing hun- dreds of cattle. Half a dozen school buildings are known to have been de- stroyedbut it is not thought that any of the pupils perished, most of them hav- ing just reached home when the storm broke. ‘ The cathedral glass l‘l the large cir- cular window 0 l the north side of the new Methodist church has been set and ance.

Indictments for murder in the first degree were returned Wednesday by the Grand Jury against Benjamin R. VVil- lis and Fred Max Brockhaus, the al- leged murderers of David S. R. Lam- bert, of Wilton, who was shot the night of December 17, 1897. The Grand J urv summoned by the high sheriff was composed of prominent men from all parts of the county. Judge Thayer at once instructed the jury as to the law in regard to murder, and the duty devolving upon them in the present cases. Clerk Haviland then swore them. in,- and they retired to the commissioners’ court room on the second floor in charge of the sheriff. The presentments against Willis and Brockhaus, prepared by State’s Attor- ney Fessenden, were after the custom- ary form, charging them with the wil- ful and deliberate murder of Mr. Lam- bert. The evidence before the grand jurors was behind closed doors, none but with esses and the accused being allowed within the room. ' El Willis and Brockhaus were permitted to hear the evidence against them. Mrs. Lambert, whom the robbers chlor- oformed before they attacked her hus- band was one of the state’s strongest witnesses. She told the story of the robbery and the details of the murder so far as she knew them. Her testi- mony has not been made public, but it is known that she stated she recognized Willis’ voice. The grand jurors were less than two hours in reaching a verdict. At 12.25 p. m., they returned to the court room, and Foreman Christian Swartz handed Judge Thayer the two presentments, “éndorsed True bills for Murder in the First degree.” Madame Louise, the mother of Wil- lis, was at the court house most of the morning. She was gaudily attired in a gown of purple. She refused to be interviewed in regard to her son’s case. Willis and Brockhaus were not in the court room, but except while they were before the grand jury, were under guard in the cells in the courthouse basement. The murder trials will probably be reached early next week. ’ Painv ‘ ' ' Hennes Kim, Magic fill, the most wonderful medicine to-day, positively curing Colds, SOTO Throat, Rhe u matlsm and all ain.
